On the seemingly never-ending list of incredibly stupid and wasteful things Mozeliak has done, it's hard to find one obviously worse than extending Matt Carpenter because you thought throwing guaranteed money at him would get him out of a slump. Moe has made many mistakes borne of corner cutting or being a risk-averse sissy. But they at least had some level of logic to them (wrongheaded though it may be - you could point to marching orders from his skinflint owner to justify them). But extending Carpenter just...it just never made a lick of sense at all.

St. Louis Cardinals and future Hall of Fame slugger Albert Pujols will participate in the Home Run Derby in Los Angeles.
Just days after being an honorary selection to the All-Star Game, St. Louis Cardinals slugger and future Hall of Famer Albert Pujols will participate in the Home Run Derby, as Katie Woo of The Athletic reported.

How could he embarrass himself? He would not be the first player to not hit an HR at the Derby. He is not really getting a farewell tour.

Wow Cards were up 6-0. Dodgers came back and won 7-6. I turned it off the sixth inning and watched something else, local news came on and told the score.

Sigh. Oli is a bad coach. He wanted to protect Helsley even though the all star break is coming up.

Maybe Oli was more concerned about the all star game.

The bullpen stinks. Waino pitched around some jams and made a go of it. They really let him down.

Remember when the last guy had a roster full of guys on their way to the glue factory and cast-offs from the street but still won 17 straight?
He didn't have this version of Goldy. Or Arenado. Or Mikolas. Or Helsley. His young guys weren't playing like Yepez, Donovan and Edman have played for big chunks of this season. And he won 90 games with that pile of miscreants. Then we fired him because he had the temerity to point out that wasn't good enough. **** John Mozeliak. That's not on Bill Dewitt. Dewitt has his problems, but John Mozeliak's thin skin and frail ego is why Mike Shildt was fired. John Mozeliak is the problem with this organization. He's been given the resources to succeed and squandered them. And after a half-decade of letting his hand-picked window-licking stooge wander the wastelands trying to manage this team, he fell ass-backwards into a career cardinal and loyal organizational soldier who also happened to be an excellent manager. And he fired him in a fit of pique. **** John Mozeliak so very, very much.

VerHagen was bad before he went on the IL, WTF did they feel the need to bring him up again?
They sent Thompson down to stretch him out to be a starter supposedly? WTF would you do that unless you really ****ed up with your rotation and then don't expect to land jack or shit in a trade? Yea this organization is run like shit from top to bottom. |

If I was OM the next time we fall behind early (on the road), I put McFarland in and pitch him the next 6-7 innings. Just burn the shit out of him. You can question just about any GM's decisions, they aren't going to be perfect...Veach isn't perfect, far from it...but he is a plus to the organization...Mo is a negative multiplier with his decisions. We have Dickerson, Verhagen, McFarland all taking up roster spots that they don't deserve. Dickerson flat out cannot hit anything over 95. Hopefully OM will sit him on the bench once TON and Bader are back. |

That's why he got hired to begin with. Marmol will be a good little errand boy. He'll continue to talk about how the organization just needs to get healthy and blame everything that goes sideways on Andrew Knizner. Ollie Marmol is a yes man and nothing more. He's the field equivalent of Mike Girsch.
